products = random.sample(products, 9) return render(request, 'front-page.html', {'products': products}) It's actually as simple as this!
First we import random from Python. Then we create a new view and get products from the database. The function we use for randomizing the products only works with lists, so we need to convert the queryset to a list. A queryset is by default a dictionary. When we have the list, we can randomize this by running "random.sample". We pass in the list and the number of products we want.
